Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

“Alright. The Sphinx’s strength has basically recovered. And thanks to you, I’ve also obtained a good treasure.”

"What treasure?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"hey-hey."

The Nile doctor took out a miniature pyramid.

"Hey, isn't this the one I gave you? Why has it gotten smaller?"

He recognized it.

"By the power of my Lord, I have altered the magic originally cast on the pyramid, enhancing its shrinking and weight-reducing effects. However, as a result, this magic will be permanently disabled once it is removed."

"That's what the Nile doctor said."

"What do you mean?"

"It means that once I make it bigger, I can't make it back."

The Nile doctor explained.

"Goodness. That's going to be difficult to recover."

It might feel good to smash someone with a pyramid, but the aftermath will be a huge hassle.

Even oxen and horses couldn't possibly move a pyramid weighing millions of tons.

Especially in places like the Baiwan Dashan area, there will definitely be enthusiastic locals who will come to claim it as their ancestral grave since ancient times.

"Yes, so I won't use the pyramids unless absolutely necessary."

The Nile doctor nodded.

"Also, don't even think about using it. Only I can use this thing; even Sesha can't."

He saw the longing in Liu Zheng's eyes, and then ruthlessly shattered his hopes.

"Ah~"

Liu Zheng's tone was full of regret.

"Is there anything else? If not, I need to hurry up and make the medicine, otherwise I might not be able to make it in time."

The Nile doctor put away the pyramid and said.

"It's alright, you can go back to your work."

He waved his hand and said.

"Uh-huh?"

Just as Dr. Nile was about to turn around, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

"No, this is my house. If anyone should leave, it's you. Hurry up and get out of here if you have nothing else to do."

He said with disdain.

"I haven't had breakfast yet."

Liu Zheng said shamelessly.

"I didn't prepare breakfast for you humans, but I do have some feed for Niu Daji. Would you like some?"

"How about buying me a honey beer?"

A thief never leaves empty-handed; he's determined to steal something before he goes.

"Your shamelessness is truly the offspring of an ox or a horse."

The Nile doctor reluctantly returned to the inner room and brought out a large glass of beer.

"I've already given you the glass. Hurry up, grab your beer and get lost."

he said angrily.

"Hmph, fine, get out then!"

Liu Zheng took the beer glass and said loudly.

"Come on, Daji, let's deliver food together."

As he left the clinic, he greeted Niu Daji, who was exercising.

There's a lot to prepare this time, so it'll be more convenient to bring my younger brother along.

"Alright! Boss, I'll go put the stuff away first."

Niu Daji said excitedly.

Finally, I can deliver food with the boss. This third-generation leader of the food delivery gang has never even been involved in the gang's main business.

"go Go."

After Niu Daji finished putting his things away, the two got into the car and headed to the Workers' New City.

The future of this trip to the Ten Thousand Mountains is uncertain, so let's finish dealing with the Niu and Ma family's affairs first.

"Hey, I'm here."

Liu Zheng called the mandrill.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

After another ten minutes, the mandrill arrived in a hurry in an old Volga.

"Give."

Without saying a word, he returned the repaired hat to the mandrill.

"Not bad, not bad, even better than my old one."

The mandrill stroked its hat and said happily.

"Of course, the spider silk used to repair the hat came from the master craftsman of the Weaving Spider clan, and the person who repaired the hat was also a new generation genius of the Weaving Spider clan. If it weren't for my influence, you wouldn't be able to get them to do it even if you went bankrupt."

Liu Zheng said proudly.

"That's right, that's right. Who in the metropolis would dare to disrespect you, sir?"

The mandrill put on the hat and showered him with compliments.

"Good to know. Now you can tell me, right?"

He looked down at the other person with his head held high, and Niu Daji also flexed his pectoral muscles in response.

"Tell me about it. That teacher's name is Huang Jiongjiong, and he lives in apartment 1303, building 13 of the Workers' New City."

"That's what the mandrill said."

"How capable is he? Does he have any family connections?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"I don't know about his strength, but he looks skinny, so he probably isn't very good at fighting. As for his background, besides being a relative of the tutoring center owner, he also has an uncle named Huang Shishi, who is a teacher at the Film Academy and seems to have quite an influence in the entertainment industry. I haven't heard anything else about him."

Mandrill replied.

What's the name of the tutoring center owner?

"I don't know, I only know that his surname is Hua."

"Okay, go ahead. Call me as soon as you have any further news."

he warned.

"Okay, I'll be going now. Please continue with your business."

The mandrill took off its hat, bowed, and then hurriedly got into the Volga and drove away.

There was no other way but to take a break, so it took an hour off; every extra minute would result in a day's pay being deducted.

"Let's go deliver food."

Liu Zheng glanced at the time and said.

He was driving while pondering in his mind.

Based on the available intelligence, there are three ways to address the issue of the "ox and horse wife".

First, get rid of Huang Jiongjiong himself.

This method is simple and quick, but considering that Huang Jiongjiong's relative is the owner of the tutoring center, there are likely to be significant side effects.

Second, get rid of the tutoring center owner.

This method is a bit roundabout, but it addresses the root cause and is more beneficial to the work of the "ox and horse wives".

Third, resolve Huang Jiongjiong through Huang Shishi.

This method is more roundabout and doesn't address the root cause; it should only be used after the first two methods have failed.

"Let's try method two first."

Liu Zheng used two tentacles to operate the steering wheel and the other two tentacles to make phone calls, without any delay.

"what's up?"

The call connected, and Silver Wolf's voice came through the phone.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask how your decision regarding the transfer is going?"

He was going to talk about tutoring classes, but he changed his mind before he could say it.

"what is your opinion?"

Silver Wolf countered with a question.

"I suggest we make the adjustment. The enemy behind us is more dangerous than the enemy in front of us."

Liu Zheng replied.

"Hmm. When are you free? Your sister-in-law has been wanting you to come over for a meal."

"As you know, I'm never free for this job. I can only come out when I have an order."

He smiled bitterly.

"Then I'll order takeout at six o'clock tonight."

"Silver Wolf said."

"Isn't this too expensive?"

"It's just a takeout order, it won't hurt me. That's the decision."

Silver Wolf hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking, giving Liu Zheng no chance to refuse.

"This is a big deal."

Liu Zheng shook his head.

He changed his mind at the last minute because he had thought of a problem.

He and Niu Ma had a life-or-death bond with each other, as did he and Yin Lang, but Niu Ma and Yin Lang had no real friendship.

Niu Ma even plans to get involved in smuggling in the future, which would put him directly at odds with Silver Wolf, who is an employee of the city hall.

Of course, the opposing side can also be transformed into a stakeholder.

However, it's best not to let Silver Wolf know about Ox and Horse's wife's existence before the relationship changes.

Relying on official power to deal with the tutoring center owner is no longer feasible. So, should I try to deal with the tutoring center owner myself or Huang Jiongjiong?

Liu Zheng chose the latter without much hesitation.

While pondering, the Cayenne S had already traversed the streets and alleys and arrived at the East Empress Dowager Avenue.

"East 17".

He slowed down and looked at both sides of the road with Niu Daji.

"Boss, there it is."

Niu Daji spotted the target.

Liu Zheng followed its furry hand and saw a two-story building with a wooden sign hanging at the entrance. A question mark was drawn on the sign with a black brush.
